Ingredients
- 1 6 -oz. can Blue Diamond Lightly Salted Almonds
- 3 ounces dark chocolate (chopped (I used 60%))
- 1/4 -1/2 teaspoons mint extract (*be VERY careful!)
- 1 -2 tablespoons coarse sugar
Steps
-
Melt the chocolate in a medium-size microwave safe bowl for 30 seconds, then stir.
-
Continue microwaving and stirring in 30 second intervals until the chocolate still has a few unmelted lumps in it. Stir until smooth.
-
Carefully add the mint extract and stir. Start with 1/4 teaspoon and go from there. Don't overdo it!
-
Add the almonds to the bowl and stir to coat.
-
Lay a large sheet of parchment or wax paper out onto a work surface. (If you plan to refrigerate them to cool faster, place on a baking sheet).
-
Use a fork to carefully remove each almond and place on the paper. You want to make sure they are separated so that they don't cool in clumps.
-
While they are still wet, sprinkle with coarse sugar.
-
Let dry completely. You can speed this up by putting them in the fridge or freezer.
-
Once the chocolate has hardened, you can store them in the almond can that you have leftover, or in a tupperware. Keep in a cool place or the fridge.
